Convolution_of_box_signal_with_itself2.gif (468 × 147 pixels, file size: 83 KB, MIME type: image/gif, looped, 301 frames, 15 s)

Description An animation displaying the process and result of convolving a box signal with itself. For each position in the resulting hat function the input functions and the multiplied input functions are shown, and the area which is integrated is marked. This work mimics [1] but includes the source code and shows the result of the convolution in the same graph as the input functions.

Photoshop was then used to crop the animation.
